OliveTin

OliveTin is a lightweight web application that exposes a controlled “button-based” interface for running predefined commands on your server. It is designed to let non-technical users perform common operational tasks without granting shell access, while keeping execution constrained and auditable.

Key Features

• Web UI with configurable actions (buttons) that execute predefined commands/scripts
• Parameterized inputs (e.g., text/select/checkbox) passed to actions for safer, repeatable runs
• Authorization controls for restricting who can see/run specific actions (RBAC-style per action)
• YAML-based configuration for defining actions, forms/fields, and command execution settings
• Built-in logging/history of action runs to support operational traceability
• Designed for “runbooks in a UI”: wrap existing scripts/tools rather than replacing them

Use Cases

• Provide a simple operator panel for routine admin tasks (restart services, rotate logs, run backups)
• Offer a safe alternative to sharing SSH for helpers/family/teammates (home lab, SMB ops)
• Expose curated runbooks for on-call operations with standardized inputs and execution

OliveTin fits teams and home labs that already have scripts/CLI workflows but want a minimal, controlled web front-end to run them consistently. It emphasizes simplicity and safe delegation over building complex automation pipelines.
